What is a QR Code?A QR code is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.

Common in Japan, where it was created by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.

What is a Hardlink?A hardlink (one word) is one of several methods of object hyperlinking including graphical tags (2D barcodes), SMS tags and RFID tags. The hardlink method establishes a reference link between a physical world object and a web page just as a traditional hyperlink establishes an electronic reference to information on a Web page.

How do the QR Code Talkers® work?These are fully trackable at www.geocaching.com. Our codes have been specially programmed to take you directly to the associated unique trackable web page at www.geocaching.com.
